Fox News Wonders Why Team USA's Uniforms Are Not Patriotic Enough (VIDEO)
Fox News had one burning question to raise after Gabby Douglas' gold medal performance at the women's gymnastics individual all-around competition in London: how is the athlete showing her patriotism if her uniform lacks stars and stripes?
On last week's "America Live," guest-host Alisyn Camerota discussed how "some folks" noticed that the "famous flag-styled outfits" of Olympics past were replaced by "yellow shirts, grey track suits and pink leotards" at the London games. Camerota and her guest, Sirius/XM radio host David Webb, took particular focus on Douglas' outfit.
"You know, Gabby had that great moment, and everyone was so excited, and she's in hot pink -- and that's her prerogative," Camerota said. Webb, who hosts a program on Sirius/XM's "Patriot" channel, wondered, "What's wrong with showing some pride?" He likened the uniform choice to a "kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can't show their exceptionalism." Camerota pointed out how other nations, like China, wore nationalistic colors.
"We're a very nationalistic nation," Webb said of America. "But we've also lost over time that jingoistic feeling."
Look at that cute face and smile, and don't forget about GOLD medal! To me that enough patriotic! You go Gabby!

Fox news can take their opinions and shove it where the sun dont shine.
The jacket did not win the gold medal, the persons that participated in the event WON the gold medal. Who gives a shit about the color of the jacket or leotards.

I've been wondering the same thing. I don't like the grey jackets we are receiving our medals in or the anonymity of them.
LOL.
